Just don't panic and let go of your paddle.

Yes to the leash when needed. I was testing 50lbs trolling motor when I realized I fell it would keep going and going. Hince a leach ( rope) oh and a kill switch. Just keep a small 4 ft rope with clips and make sure to unclip if going in or out of surf that would not be good.

First thing, I never take my pfd off when in water over my head or solo. Second, I carry a personal locator beacon in my pfd pocket this way if I do get separated and the yak gets blown away I can call for help. I also carry a marine radio and try not to go alone. I've tied off a surf leash to the kayak and velcroed it to my ankle when going far offshore solo. Seems to me if I do fall off I have the opportunity to get back to the yak and if things go bad I can always pull off the velcro strap.
